On a roll of 2~5, D-Weapons inflict a penetrating hit causing loss of d3 HP instead of 1.
In case of 6, the vehicle suffers penetrating hit which removes 6+d6 HP with no saves allowed.

However, an active serpent shield 'downgrades' penetrating hit into a glancing hit.
Since the removal of multiple HP by D-Weapon applies to "penetrating hits", does this mean 2~5 result on D-Weapon only removes 1 HP(glancing hit) from Wave Serpent?
If that's the case, what about the result of 6? Does it still remove Wave Serpent regardless of its defence or just remove one HP with no saves allowed?

Isn't it just exchanging the words penetrating for Glancing and so will have not other effect s the HP loss is not dependant on the type of hit? Both penetrating and glancing hits cause the same amount of HP damage so in this case it makes no difference as to the type of hit - you just don't roll on the damage table?

EG:

On a roll of 2~5, D-Weapons inflict a penetrating hit causing loss of d3 HP instead of 1.

Becomes
On a roll of 2~5, D-Weapons inflict a glancing hit causing loss of d3 HP instead of 1.

As above.
